(Perl) Generate XHTML on the command line with XML::API::XHTML

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 02:21:23 GMT

Build a simple XHTML document, format it with Tidy and print the result to "temp.html." You may first need to `cpan XML::API::XHTML`, and install Tidy using your favorite package manager, or just [download Tidy by itself](http://tidy.sourceforge.net/#binaries) ### If you can't install XML::API::XHTML On my system, CPAN complained that "make test had returned bad status" during installation of XML::API::XHTML. To solve this I started the CPAN shell (just type `cpan`) and then forced the install, like this: cpan> force XML::API::XHTML
